load layout in controller

FUEL 0.93

I'm having trouble getting the correct layout to load. This works fine in another website that I've created.

# I have a "main" layout for normal pages and a layout named "home" for the home page..

# I've also created a controller called home and I created a page in the CMS called "Home"..

# my default controller is set to Home...

Home Controller {

$vars = array();

$page_init = array('location' => 'Home');
$this->load->module_library(FUEL_FOLDER, 'fuel_page', $page_init);
$this->fuel_page->add_variables($vars);
$this->fuel_page->render();


problem is.. it loads the "main" layout.. even in the CMS it's set to the "Home" layout.. is there a way to pass the layout through the controller?

I tried:
$page_init = array('location' => 'Home', 'layout' => 'home');

Add 'render_mode' => 'cms' like so:
$page_init = array('location' => 'Home','render_mode' => 'cms');

Hmmm.. that didn't work... the thing is.. it loads the body of the correct page.. but no matter what layout I set it on in the CMS it will not load the correct layout.. I can set it to none and it will still load the main layout.

Have you set the render_mode parameter in MY_fuel.php to "auto"?

Yes, I got it to work. For some reason I had to make the location in the controller to "homepage" then create layouts and variables called "homepage"... some how it clicked over and started working..

Perhaps it had something to do with the default_controller route.
